The victim got away after a struggle, Raleigh police confirmed to WNCN. Safran rode off on a bicycle, according to a 911 call.

"He was riding around on his bike looking real creepy," the caller said.

Safran was arrested Saturday afternoon and charged with attempted rape, second-degree kidnapping, and sexual battery in connection with the incident, which occurred around 3 p.m. in the 2900 block of Market Bridge Lane.
